The Inner Child

Too soon the inner child can disappear
And wither in the shadow of all wars…
And blinded by atrocity
It seems to our crazed minds …
No more than this
Exists.

And yet…

Through music and the arts of life,
Fine pottery and woven threads…
The gesture of a word…a song
And countless other things…

We find…

The one who has some faith
In other beings
The one who trusts humanity …
Is free to come across the genius
that is found within
Release from this…create…

It is a bit like flying without wings.
